The balloon thought

// March 2nd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

I was watching this video and I had a thought.

When you’ve got a balloon and the string slips out of your hand, you first panic but then after a second you enjoy watching to see how far that it can go.

I think this analogy applies to a lot of things. For some people maybe its the need to move away to start a career, for others maybe its the need to give up control of something so others can excel and for some maybe its taking the plunge into a relationship.  I currently like to see it as the balloon being my life plans and the wind being God’s direction, I just need to let the string go and follow Him with every movement of a muscle, every thought in my mind and word on my lips.

All this from a balloon…huh.

It occured to me earlier that all of my friends out here in oregon have no clue what I was like prior to meeting me… they don’t know any of my accomplishments or failures other than that of what I’ve told them.
The same goes for them… I only know the wonderful people that they are now.  If any of my friends made terrible mistakes growing up, I don’t really care because I know them as they are right now.

Psalm 103:12 "How far has the LORD taken our sins from us? Farther than the distance from east to west! "

I always love it when I can relate my experience to scripture.  So this is how God feels about us when He forgives us, as if we were never sinners.
 

The Circuit

Marvin likes to talk about when he was on the ballroom dancing circuit haha… obviously its a true story

Him and tammy watch that dancing with the stars show and it was on one time when I was over their house.  Steve Wozniak was dancing and I just couldn’t figure out why he looked so familiar.  Then marvin told me yeah he is the co-founder of apple and I said to myself "DUHH".
I’ve seen interviews and stuff with him and he is just a funny nerdy dude.  He is totally not swayed by marketing but just loves technology.
I read a great interview with steve woz over on lifehacker the other day…

I’m impressed with his openness and honesty about technology.  Though he has no need to try to sell apple products or whatever because he is already rich haha.
The fact that he cares more about the circuits that make stuff run than the software is cool too.

Ever gone into your local bank to find a ninja fleeing the scene?  Yeah me neither.

Paddy Hirsch just does such a good job explaining the financial states of banks and loans in todays economy.
Its worth the 9 minutes.
